Lovely Long Weekend

via

I hope you had a fantastic weekend- I know that I did! The weather here was beautiful, so we spent most of it with all of the doors and windows open to let the breezes pass through. I've gotten really excited about gardening recently, so I spent some time prepping a new raised bed in the backyard (which I hope to share once it's finished!) and shopping for plants, as well as majorly cutting back some overgrown bushes in the front of our house. It's made such a big difference and I can't wait until it's cool enough to plant lots of beautiful bulbs for the spring!

I'm starting a new part-time job today, so posts may be a bit sparse as I get adjusted to my new schedule (I'm super excited, but having a few jobs can be a bit confusing!).

Good luck with this shortened work week- I hope that it's wonderful and goes by quickly!

Four Years

Dad- Thanks for being such a wonderful father. For teaching me so many things- from basketball to driving to worrying a bit more than I probably should and, most importantly, to be caring and compassionate toward others. For always taking care of me and putting the needs of your family before your own. You were always loving, kind, selfless, goofy, and generally awesome. I'm eternally grateful for having such an amazing person in my life, and I can only dream of becoming half of the person you were. I love and miss you, Dad.

A brief mea culpa: Apologies for being so m.i.a. for the past few days. I passed the time battling with Delta over a canceled flight, finally making to Connecticut for a childhood friend's wedding, spending time with friends old and new and the madre, soaking a gorgeously elegant wedding, doing a bit of bargain shopping, heading back to North Carolina, and getting my life back in order. Phew!

Anyway, I've got some new posts up my sleeves and am looking forward to getting back into the blogging groove!

Pretty obsessed with this rainbow look, first spotted here. And a perfect way to celebrate yesterday's Prop 8 ruling!
